Arizona Cardinals rookie receiver and kick returner Xavier Weaver is not expected to play in Sunday’s season opener at Buffalo because of an oblique injury, coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday.
Weaver, 23, did not participate in practices Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
The Cardinals’ depth chart lists Weaver as the backup to starting wide receiver Greg Dortch, with the other starters being Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., the team’s top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Arizona signed Weaver as an undrafted free agent. He caught 68 passes for 908 yards and four touchdowns, and ran twice for 15 yards and two scores, in 11 games as a senior for Colorado last season.
He played from 2019-22 for South Florida and totaled 116 receptions for 1,735 yards and eight touchowns.
